Well, Muammar Qaddafi
probably does not agree with that assessment, or at least if he was around, he
wouldn’t agree with that assessment. Obviously, you know, we helped to put
together and lay the groundwork for liberating Libya. You know, when it
comes to Egypt, I think, had it not been for the leadership we showed, you

do nobody a service when we leap before we look.

Once more, Obama is a douche. Douche-in-Chief. The First

Orthodox and Catholics appeal for aid in
Hassake.Local Bishops Appeal For Humanitarian Assistance in Eastern Syrian
Town. A new report from Fides News Agency stated that the people Hassake, the
capital of Mesopotamia located in Eastern Syria is suffering tremendously from
cold weather, lack of fuel and water, and limited electricity. According to the

Armenians) have crowded the city, mainly seeking refuge from the ongoing
conflict. Many have sent messages to Fides asking for aid. …

"The people are hungry and living in fear," he
continued. "Every day, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there is a sort of
curfew, because armed groups roam the streets. This is followed by kidnappings,
sometimes with ransom demands, not always. In recent days, two brothers of the
Bashr family and two young members of the Fram family were killed at point
blank range on the street. Young Christians are threatened and terrified, 90%
have fled the city. If young people leave, what will our churches be needed for?
"

Georgius, a Christian university student whose family is
in Hassake and has taken refuge in Lebanan told Fides that the "Jubhat el
Nosra" militants have specifically targeted youth born between 1990 and
1992.

"They look for them, accuse them of being soldiers for the national
service and kill them cold-bloodedly. They want to terrorize young people to
prevent them from enlisting."The population of Hassaké are weary and tired. Georgius also stated that he
fears a final assault on the city will "cause the definitive exodus of
Christians from Hassake."

China's role and
position are clear when discussing North Korea issue in the UN Security
Council. If North Korea engages in
further nuclear tests, China will not hesitate to reduce its assistance to
North Korea. If the US, Japan and South Korea promote extreme UN
sanctions on North Korea, China will resolutely stop them and force them to
amend these draft resolutions.
